This was so much fun & is the perfect Covid game! It's a great way to make going for a walk fun & you get to learn so much about the beautiful, historic town of Kingston. I've lived there all my life & even I learnt so much about the town to the point where some of the clues made me doubt my existing knowledge of the town as it leads you to so many hidden gems! I cannot recommend this enough & will definitely be playing again with a bigger team once lockdown is over!

Having lived in Kingston for over 30 years, I finally got to visit the local museum. It is truly lovely. Informative and well laid out and with direct access into the adjacent library. The children's activities held upstairs were just right. Well done Kingston Museum, we'll be back.

It has its roots in Kingston, but serves more than a million people who live and work in the region.Under the leadership of Artistic Director, Stephen Unwin, the Rose offers a rich programme of artistic activity, for people from all backgrounds and tastes. It combines the highest artistic standards, a resolute commitment to learning, and a determination to involve the broader community in what we do.

Reviewed By RobertB308 - North Berwick, United Kingdom

We were pleased to visit the Rose Theatre for a production just a few days after it celebrated its 10th anniversary. It is a well-designed space for theatre and other arts productions and we very much enjoyed our visit. The production of "Much Ado About Nothing" was edgy and comical and there were several excellent performances including those of Mel Giedroyc and, making his professional theatre debut, Calam Lynch.

We went to visit this lovely old church in the centre of Kingston after Christmas shopping. We went to look at the decorated Christmas trees in the tree festival. Afterwards we went to the cafe in the church for a well deserved coffee and a slice of cake. It is very good value and it was nice to sit and relax while listening to the church organ being played.

Canbury Gardens

Reviewed By RAZAshadab - Kingston upon Thames, United Kingdom

Canbury Gardens among the most beautiful places to be in Kingston area. It has a nice and beautiful garden, overlooking the Thames river. Good for a walk, jog , cycling, fishing, or feeding the birds near the river. With free basketball court and big field for children to run around, it is an ideal place to picnic with friends and family. You can also hire a boat or cruise at the river. My favourite activity is to just sit on any of the benches around, and just watch the world go by. Serenity, tranquility, peaceful ......... its my favourite place in Kingston. p.s. : please avoid visiting there in the evenings on the weekends. There has been a growing nuisance of drunken crowds spoiling the area.
